I don't think it will let him map only one drive instead of two . . . At least not at the level of granularity he is looking at. I would suggest the following, however: For the users' folders, if you set these to be home drives, Win2k will map the drive all the way down to the username. You can simply specify in the account info the following information: \\servername\share\%username%, and the drive will be automatically mapped, and the folder automatically created. This should ease some of the administrative burden on you for the users' folders. Then all you have to worry about is setting up your logon script to map another network drive for the other shared folder. However, if you are still using NT, then you can only map a network drive to the share level. If this is not what you are looking for, please clarify your scenario (i.e. OS, AD or NT 4.0 domain, etc.), and you might get some additional answers that are more helpful.

I am planning to create two main folders: users and departments. I will further create each individual user folder under the users folder and each individual department under the departments folders then share both users and departments folders. Each user will need two map drives from their workstation: one to their respective folder and the other one to their department folder. example: U: jsteven and T: sales. Is there any way to configure the file server so that the user only uses one mapped drive to access both the users and department? Any other ideas how to organize our users data on the file server is welcome ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
